A few summers ago, I made a family crest for a wedding to really personalize the special day for the happy couple. I added elements that defined each of the couple individually as well as a duo. The end piece resulting in a fun piece of art to mark the occasion as well as artwork they used on their wine bottle labels and thank you cards.

It's a fun way to really personalize your wedding, anniversary (1st anniversary is the paper anniversary, so perfect), family reunion or event and add a playful element to an exciting and important day. We also used this crest image as a label for our wine bottles that we placed on our guests tables.

Each hand drawn painting is approximately 8" x 10" on watercolour paper. The first 2 pictures listed are examples of the crest I did for our wedding as well as the colours I usually use. But, I am totally open to anything you want to do. The next 2 photos are examples of other crests I've done and the final picture is the process that I go through for each piece. You can expect to receive a rough pencil sketch before I do the inks. Then I will keep you up to date with scans of the inks and watercolours. This will give you the chance to revise or add any elements that you want.

If you want to see more examples of the type of work I do, check my other listings. And if you want to do a larger size, just send me a message and we can work out the details. I have done larger acrylic crests but unfortunately I cannot post photos of them as they are personal to the couples who ordered them.

I know some of you may like the idea but not know where to start. Well good elements for a crest may include, places, tools, animals and people as well as elements of inside jokes, etc. I just finished a large custom crest that had sea horses, numerous city names, a bear and a cat and the symbol for Tin (It was for a 10 year anniversary and Tin is the gift for that celebrated year).

So let your imagination go crazy.
